In the heart of the Whispering Forest, where magic is alive and secrets lurk in every shadow, a boy with no past steps into a world that could either heal him—or destroy him.

As Arina is drawn deeper into the mystery of his identity, he begins to uncover the dark history of the forest—of ancient spirits, deceitful shadows, and a war long buried in the soil. But when the line between good and evil blurs, Arina must decide who he can trust. Because the forest is alive, and it always takes what it’s owed. In a tale of light and darkness, love and betrayal, Arina’s fate will be written in the roots of the forest—and in the whispers of its shadows

The Battle of Eldara was the most brutal conflict the world had ever seen. Humanity faced off against the fearsome Beastkin, a race of monstrous creatures with feral strength and an insatiable hunger for destruction. Leading the charge for humanity was a legendary warrior of unmatched skill and determination. Through sheer will and combat prowess, the warrior and their comrades turned the tide of battle, driving the Beastkin back into the shadows from whence they came. But after the war ended, the hero vanished without a trace. They became a legend, the savior who protected humanity and then disappeared into the annals of history. Years later, in the once-peaceful city of Azora, a series of gruesome murders began to unfold. The killings were brutal and methodical, reminiscent of the tactics used against the Beastkin. Whispers spread through the city, suggesting that the hero who had once saved them was responsible for the bloodshed. With fear gripping the populace, the city's leaders placed a colossal bounty on the hero's head, promising wealth and glory to anyone who could bring them to justice. Mercenaries, bounty hunters, and opportunists from all corners of the realm flocked to Azora, each eager to claim the reward.

The Mayan ceremonial dagger had an inscription in the ancient language that read: "Offer thy heart". It's obviously an instruction left by the past inhabitants of this forgotten place, but who would be stupid enough to stab himself in the heart with a rusty old knife found inside a tombstone? After activating my battery pack the dagger shimmers brightly in a cyan light, the creatures are coming, I can hear their steps. 'It's do or die.'

**"The Return of the Hidden King"** The echoes of wedding bells still lingered in the air when Kael Renforth, a humble yet brilliant man of lowly origins, was summoned to the frontlines alongside the formidable Lord Alaric Denvair to defend their homeland. Five brutal years of war changed everything. Alaric, the unyielding Earl of Port Avallon, fell in battle. Kael returned triumphant—but to a world he no longer recognized. The once-proud Denvair legacy lies in ruins, and the once-thriving Port Avallon is now carved up by ruthless factions, each vying for control. Worse still, Kael’s beloved wife, the elegant and sharp-witted Lyria Denvair, has caught the eyes of these power-hungry lords. To them, Kael is nothing more than a war-worn soldier, a pawn in a game too big for him. But they are wrong. Kael Renforth is no ordinary man. Beneath his unassuming exterior lies a mind of extraordinary talent and a spirit unyielding as steel. With cunning strategy, unshakable resolve, and secrets that could change the balance of power, Kael will rise from the shadows to claim his place in the urban jungle. His return marks the dawn of a new era—one where he will seize what is his and prove to all that he is the one true king of Port Avallon. War was only the beginning. Now, the game for the city’s soul begins.

I watched him as he stood there, leaning on the bridge's railing and eating ice cream. The breeze wasn't disturbing his hair today because he had parked it all backwards, he looked cute, I smiled drawing in some breath, satisfied with how today was going. "What?" I heard him ask taking me off my thoughts. "Huh?" "You were smiling." "Oh. I was...." "Can I kiss you?" He asked looking at my lips. "Here?" I asked now, my heart beating hard against my chest, our first kiss could happen now. "Yeah?" He nodded, I could see his Adam's apple go up and down as he swallowed, I bit my lips, nervously. I smiled approvingly, almost getting up from the bench where I sat. "No sit." He said coming closer to sit next to me. The bench was quite small so we were so close to each other. He leaned in and I could smell him more the closer he got to my face. His lips were now inches away from mine and the moment they touched I closed my eyes, I didn't know why but I did. He didn't put his tongue in my mouth, it was as simple as it could get, just a warm kiss and I as glad he didn't. When he lips left mine, I opened my eyes licking my lips. He was smiling, I hadn't yet told him how much I loved his smile. "You lied." I told him. "About what?" He stopped smiling. "You said you were a bad kisser." He laughed now with his teeth showing, those beautiful set. Read more... #genka3na

Eternal Cleansing Region, somewhere in the Aries Kingdom, midnight “Ohmmm~~~!” The sound of chanting was heard as pebbles jumped, buildings vibrated, and the ground shook. In a huge church, many figures in dark red robes were on their knees surrounding an altar, seemingly praying to a god. There were thousands upon thousands of figures, all chanting the same thing. The gargantuan church had very tall windows, with which housed stained glass. The church was very caliginous, only having the soft light of the moon to illuminate things through those windows. If one gazed up, a mural could be discerned within a cupola. It illustrated a devil lingering above the land, with which figures with red eyes stood; then, a huge sun encroaching upon the territory of that devil, and burning all that was. Afterward, the mural showed a few survivors, on their knees, worshiping what appeared to be a god floating in the air as the surrounding lands burned to ash. The robed figures surrounded an altar upon which stood an imposing golden statue of a muscular man, in nothing but a toga, holding out his hand. In his hand, burned a powerful flame. If one were to observe this statue, they would immediately notice the beautiful orange sapphire the size of one’s hand. This statue was six stories tall, reaching just below the cupola. “Ohmmm~~~!” everything shook once again due to the sheer power of those figures’ unified voices. All of the figures began to glow a soft reddish-orange holy light, reminiscent of the sun. The light began to get brighter, gradually overtaking the gentle light of the moon. On the altar, in the center, directly below the cupola, was another silhouette. This silhouette stood with its hands held out, radiating an even greater light than those below. “Ohmmm~~~!” the statue’s eyes began to shine a similar light. Moments later, the light from the robed figures began to wane, as if the statue was absorbing it. The silhouette below the statue, however, started glowing even brighter. Seconds passed. Seconds turned into minutes, and minutes, into hours. As every second ticked by, robed figures collapsed one after the other, their state unknown. The statue’s eyes were getting brighter as each fell. After seemingly an eternity, the silhouette’s light began to flicker out of existence. Just before it blinked out of the world, the statue’s eyes flared up, and the world seemingly stopped. The silhouette’s eyes began to match those of the statue. Suddenly, a deep, monotone voice escaped from the shadowy figure, “The boy with the Shadow Dragon Bloodline. Find him. Kill him. Wipe his whole lineage from the face of this region!” it boomed throughout the church, escaping through the walls as if they were illusory. People all throughout the region began to look in the direction of the church in response to some profound power. As the figure on the altar was speaking, cracks ,glowing the same color as the statue, began to appear around its body. As soon as the silhouette stopped speaking, it collapsed and the statue’s radiant glow began to fade. “Ohmmm~~~!” echoed out once more.

"In your lifetimes has anyone ever worshipped you? Ever prayed to you? I know you're not the being you once were, and now is your chance to prove it..." "You may meet the being I once was." "... And what kind of being is that, Reaper?" In the vast expanse of space, where stars flicker like distant promises and civilizations rise and fall like cosmic waves, there exists a man haunted by his own choices. Once a protector, a guardian of those he held dear, he found himself forced into the shadows by the merciless demands of fate. In a universe teeming with threats, he made a pact with the darkness, trading his warmth for a cloak of ice, his compassion for a blade of steel. Now known only as the Reaper, his name evokes fear even among those he once safeguarded. He moves like a wraith through the void, a silent sentinel of death, his heart encased in frost as he carries out his duty. He is both hero and villain, protector and predator.
